Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Sheikh Hasina Wazed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pac Quiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wazed comes to the cage accompanied by Mercedes Sosa - Como la Cigarra. Quiao has chosen The Motto - Drake Ft. Lil Wayne and Tyga as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Sheikh Hasina Wazed has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sheikh Hasina Wazed seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
